I THINK it's because they want to see the S6 Edge Plus make a strong appearance first. It will probably see a release later this year but I can only assume they want the Edge Plus to gain some traction before offering the "cheaper" Note 5.

That's a good theory. It could also be a supply side issue on some of the components. They are using their own 7420 chips, so by limiting the devices availability in some areas, it allows them to creatively manage that. Perhaps after a few months they will have rebuilt their supply of those chips and can sell the Note 5 in areas previously unavailable.
